@beauxlatham created a new music video for me and I am releasing it this week to help inspire and support our friends @AAPDofficial working in DC for Disability Power Week on the Hill! You should go watch this new video for inspiration, then send your Federal Congress Member a message to kindly let them know you support people with disabilities. Look up your reps at Congress.gov. AAPD’s policy priorities include 1) Protecting Home and Community -based services, 2) Eliminating the SSI savings penalty and expanding asset limitations, 3) Fully funding IDEA supports for students with disabilities, and 4) ensuring federal funds for disability supports remain intact. #DisabilityJoy #DisabilityPride #BeTheTeeth #DisabilityPower26 #disabilitypower
